Fred has skillfully combined science with practical handling exercises to provide a foundation for the Nose Work dog handler. Fred Helfers began working with detection dogs in the early eighties. After a short stint with the US Border Patrol working on the southern US / Mexico border, Fred got to see firsthand how effective dogs were at detecting contraband. He soon realised that working for the US Border Patrol was not for him and moved to Washington State to work with a municipal Police department, north of Seattle WA.  Already training and hunting with Brittany Spaniels, Fred knew that dogs had good noses, but never really knew how dogs worked odour sources. In 2012 Fred was introduced to the sport of K9 Nose work® by founder and friend Ron Gaunt. While cautious at first, Fred was overwhelmed and inspired by the passion, dedication and camaraderie displayed by the K9 Nose work® handlers and their instructors. He was soon recognized as a Certified K9 Nose work® Instructor (CNWI®) and began teaching detection classes, seminars and workshops throughout the United States.
